About this venue

Westclox Event Center is a historic wedding venue situated in Peru, Illinois’ former clock factory. The historic charm and rustic elegance combine to create a sophisticated space where couples can begin their journey to forever.

Facilities and Capacity

Westclox Event Center dates back to the late 1800s, when the Western Clock Manufacturing Company, a crucial supplier to the U.S. military during World War II, called this place home. The facility closed in 1980 and later survived a six-day fire before being lovingly restored in 2014. Today, this building maintains its original charm, with exposed brick walls and original features providing an industrial-chic backdrop for weddings of all shapes and sizes. You and 50 to 400 guests can enjoy anything from a glamorous cocktail hour to a dazzling sit-down dinner inside the flexible, open-plan event space. Begin the day in the on-site dressing suites, where you and your wedding party can relax and enjoy being pampered together before the start of the festivities.

Couples who choose to celebrate their marriage at the Westclox Event Center can enjoy impeccable service from start to finish. The professional, in-house event coordinator will collaborate closely with you to ensure every detail of your special day unfolds exactly as you envisioned.

Phenomenal Experience!!

I cannot recommend the Westclox Event Center enough!! From beginning to end, working with this venue was incredible. We celebrated our wedding here in October 2025 and hosted approximately 320 guest. The event space did not feel crowded at all with this large of an event. The event Coordinator AVA was seriously INCREDIBLE to work with. Any request, big or small, Ava was on it! From planning to celebrating the night, Ava was so kind, hard-working, efficient, and helpful. The night of the wedding reception went so smooth, and she was a huge contributor to that. The rest of the staff was amazing and so accommodating as well. I would HIGHLY recommend hosting any event at this venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
